Greenblatt: U.S. Will Not Give the Palestinians "Carrots" Just to Come to the Table

(NPR) Larry Kaplow - U.S. Special Envoy Jason Greenblatt told NPR in an interview: "If the Palestinian leadership...choose to cut us off to the detriment of their people and to the detriment of the possibility of peace, that's their choice. We aren't going to give them the so-called carrots or, you know, goodies in order to buy them to come to the table, because it's never worked before." "At the moment...we have not only non-engagement but actually boycotts undermining...all of our efforts. Insults hurled at the president, our ambassador to Israel, many members of the administration. It is not a wise use of U.S. taxpayer money to keep feeding into a system where there is no positive momentum." "I know that there's been a lot of criticism that we're trying to buy off the Palestinians, that we're trying to bribe the Palestinians, that there's no political plan. All of that is completely untrue. When everybody sees the two parts to the plan, I think it'll make sense to everybody."
